In 1935 Major Thomas Bennett Woodburn (1893-1980), editor and art director of Recruiting News, drew a sketch of Captain John Doughty for the magazine's cover for a series on the service's senior officers. Woodburn worked from a tiny engraving and brief description of Doughty in an unlocated book about the Revolution. Despite a wide search, no other likeness of Doughty has been found. Thus the Army commissioned Janet Ruth Mary Fitzgerald (1949- ), a native of Lewiston, Maine, to paint a portrait after the Woodburn sketch to represent Doughty in the line of succession. Miss Fitzgerald is no stranger to the field of military art. A graduate of the Columbus (Ohio) College of Art and Design with a bachelor of fine arts degree, she served a five-year tour in the Army (1976-1981) as an illustrator and was awarded the Army Commendation Medal for her work. In 1979 she was selected, in Army-wide competition, to be a member of the Army Artist Team, and executed twenty works on Army Engineer subjects and a dozen on women in the Army. Her portrait of Lt. Col. John Doughty is reproduced from the Army Art Collection.
